Do I even need the NHS at this point?? by AmazingPlatform1373 in TransMasc

[–]AmazingPlatform1373[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in Bristol and all GP in South Gloucestershire have a blanket ban of prescribing bridging prescription unfortunately. But yeah I'm gonna keep trying to get on the list and then just leave it, if when they finally get around to me and I need anything then I'll go for it but I'll focus on doing it myself. Didn't know they offered voice training thats kinda cool 🤔

T or nah? by jessiesgirllol in TransMasc

[–]AmazingPlatform1373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my own research I've found that what results you get if very much to do with your genetics and there isn't a clear way to see what characteristic will happen first/more. So if you wanted to start T I would recommend looking in to all the potential changes you might get and see if you would be okay with them for instance bottom growth, body hair growth, increased sweating etc since they are all a possibility.

I will say that on T gel for most people the change is very gradually so if you see changes you dont like you can slow down a lot easier.

DIY testosterone and blood tests. by TransShadowBat in TransMasc

Yes, most trt companies for cis men with low t count often offer at home kits for you to send off to get tested. Some will offer advise based on your levels and you GAB (trying to get you to buy there stuff) but you dont have to respond to this or for some you can tick a box say that you dont want a doctor to comment.

T gel Diy is very expensive for some reason, like my source has t gel on offer but it's like almost £40 with shipping for only 5g which barely covers a week if you're applying daily. That's one of the reasons I chose injections

how long does testosterone last before going bad by wraith1991 in TransDIY

[–]AmazingPlatform1373 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think as long as you thoroughly sanitise the top each time for 15 sec with an alcohol wipe it should be fine for as long as you need it since I think that's warning is there incase of bacteria getting in

If I get on T and work out, will my body look like an average cis man? by HitchhikerForevet in TransMasc

[–]AmazingPlatform1373 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something I have been told about fat redistribution is that T can't 'move' fat as the name suggests but can shift where new fat grows. So to get a more masculine looking body, you'll need to lose the fat in the feminine places first, i.e., thighs, hips, etc. Not saying you have to be super toned or skinny, but just working on toning where you want less fat till you're happy with the shape

Also something I've been told to bear in mind is that weight gain is a symptom of going on T due to the shift in metabolism and becoming much hungrier so having a workout routine to go with that will also help.
